Lesson Learned /crabbing
Few of us decided to head out to Mosman bay jetty to try our luck in some Crabbin and some small fishing. within 45min of being there 2 fisherie officers came down to have a look at our catch and gear we were within our limits as we only had the 5 crabs between 3 ppl, Only down fall was a net i used for bait fish (gobble guts) i found was illegal to use. Now the positive thing about it all was that i recieved no fine (as of yet) and they said because i was honest straite up that it was mine, quite happy to hand my details over and even slash the net up. I did have to ask tho if the Bait cage is Illegal to use why to stores sell them? Confused the hell out of me. but we didnt let it ruin our night and we walked away with 7 decent sized Blueys, 1 being enough for me measured in at almost 19cm point to point definatly my largest i have caught.

If any1 but the wife asks im fishing, if she asks im at work.

Buyer beware!Some of the
Buyer beware!
Some of the outdoor chain stores here, being eastern states based, stock a lot of gear that is not legal for use in WA. Fish traps/crab pots/witch's hat crab nets/bait jigs...... occasionaly they will put a sign next to then saying "please check your local regulations".
Best thing is to be aware of state and local regulations.

Like rod holders for front of
Like rod holders for front of 4wd. We got stopped by a booze bus on the way back from Freo one night. Had 3 rods in the rod holders and got busted for the rods obscuring drivers vision and $100 fine
. So not everything sold in shops is legal to use-buyer beware
If fishing is a sport I,m an elite athlete

Just for everyones info also,
Just for everyones info also, even if you dont have rods in those rod holders on your bullbar they are still illegal on the road and you ca still be fined as you cant have any sharp objects protruding out from your vehicle front or sides.
Had a few mates cop fines for them on their bullbars. Best thing is to only have them on when you are actually beach fishing. Or dont use the at all and just get a set of roof racks.
